    mc-geticon extracts one of the 4-bit icons of a PSX memory card file (which must be downloaded before). This is very useful if you want to see the icons of game savings in you desktop environment.
  • EXAMPLES FOR mc-geticon
    This is a very simple (and bad!) script for your GNOME desktop. Just run it in you memory card saving directory root and after that explore the directories with the GNOME file manager...
    
    #!/bin/sh
    
    # find memory card savings, extract the first icon and create a .name.icon entry
    find -name 'B?S????*' -printf \
    "mc-geticon '0.000000' | timtoppm | pnmscale -xysize 32 32 | pnmsmooth | ppmquant 256 | ppmtoxpm > '.0.000000.icon'\n" \
    | sh
    
    # for all .icon entries create a mime key (which is a very bad hack :-)
    find -name 'B?S????*' -printf \
    "image/-1.995358:\n\ticon-filename=$PWD/.-1.994374.icon\n\n" \
    > $HOME/.gnome/mime-info/gnome.keys
    
    # for all .icon entries create a new mime type...
    find -name 'B?S????*' -printf \
    "image/0.000000\n\text:0.000000\n\n"
    > $HOME/.gnome/mime-info/gnome.mime
